Former Tory deputy chair Jonathan Gullis has found a new role after losing his seat.
The out-of-work ex-MP is listed on the notice board at TalkTV headquarters, where he’ll be hosting Kevin O’Sullivan’s show for the first time this Friday from 7 pm to 10 pm, according to Guido reports.
Gullis won Stoke North in the 2019 general election as the so-called Red Wall crumbled across the North and Midlands.
It was the first time Labour had lost the seat since it was created in 1950.
But it proved to be a short stint for Gullis, who lost his 6,286 majority picked up under the Boris Johnson administration in July.
Earlier this year Gullis was spotted campaigning with a convicted heroin dealer which prompted allegations of hypocrisy from Labour.
Gullis previously described drug dealers and those committing anti-social behaviour in his area as “savages”, “scroats” and “scumbags” in a video filmed in his constituency.
In other bizarre moments during his tenure, he claimed he’d been forced put ‘bulletproof clingfilm’ on his home amid safety concerns and told a Post Office inquiry that he hadn’t watched the recent ITV drama because he’d been too busy watching Paw Patrol.
